Su Xuan pretended to leave Jizhou City, but did not leave the boundary of Jizhou.

He only left fifty Shenji battalions, and the rest of the people went home, pretending that he had returned to Yanzhou.

Su Xuan himself took Xu Ersan and the Fifty Shenji Battalion to go around the boundaries of Jizhou.

The place that Su Xuan has been to the most is the south, and he is relatively familiar with the south, but not very familiar with the north.

So you should take a look around.

Within the boundaries of Jizhou, in fact, the situation is only better if it is close to Jizhou City and other big cities.

Because the rogues in the neighborhood have been conscripted into the army.

Far away from Jizhou City, there are still a lot of rogues.

Su Xuan was accustomed to the harassment of the rogue.

Far away from Jizhou City, some county towns were even captured by the Liukou.

One night, in the wild.

Su Xuan and the others found a deserted village.

Although Su Xuan had seen the remnants of such corpses many times, every time he saw it, it was shocking.

Su Xuan ordered Xu Ershou to lead people to collect all the corpses in the village, and then set up a huge firewood pile to cremate all the corpses.

Then a pit was dug on the spot and a tombless tomb was erected.

This is not the first time Su Xuan has done this, in the past three days, he has either been collecting corpses or on the way to collect corpses.

After doing these things, Su Xuan and the others found a dilapidated courtyard in the village, and then lit a bonfire in the large house, and rested while eating dry food.

"My lord, it's not a way for us to keep collecting other people's corpses. I don't know how many people have died in the world, and we can't collect the corpses in Jizhou alone." Xu Ershou said.

"Yes, we only do what we can." Su Xuan nodded and said.

With so many corpses, of course he couldn't finish collecting them.

So now that I have this time, I can collect one of them.

"Okay." Xu Ersan sighed, "I have calculated, in the past three days, we have burned three hundred and seventy-eight people, of which the elderly account for half, the children occupy the small half, and there are not many young and strong."

"Qingzhuang still has a breath, there is no way, either go out to survive, or go to be a rogue." Su Xuan said.

"Abandoning one's family and children, abandoning the elderly, is really hateful." Xu Ershou said indignantly.

"Then what else can they do? Either one or two people in the family can live, or the whole family dies at the hands of the rogues, what should we do?" Su Xuan said.

"That's what the adults said, hey~" Xu Ershou felt that what Su Xuan said made sense.

Most of the young people who ran out were also forced to do so.

Who let this court expropriate and extort violently, and who let this so-called family family care about the lives of the people in vain?

"Think about it, the Cui clan is really damned, they have so much silver, give this one to that, but they are still reluctant to take the silver out for disaster relief." Xu Ershou said.

"Isn't there a rogue in Yanzhou City?" Su Xuan said.

"Uh...... Yes, but not so much."

"We haven't done it ourselves, and we can't morally kidnap others to do better than us." Su Xuan said.

"What the Lord said...... Wait, someone's coming......

The crowd fell silent.

At this time, a Taoist walked in with a little Taoist boy.

The Taoist is over fifty years old, with gray hair, a thin figure but eyes like a torch, and a bit of an old god's sense of sight.

The little Taoist boy was less than ten years old, and he was born white and pure, with two braids on his head, and he couldn't distinguish between men and women.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable...... Seeing that there is a fire here, can you spend the night with all your fellow Daoists, and relieve your fellow Daoists of the bonfire and avoid the wind and cold?" The Taoist asked.

"Phew, pretending to be a ghost, fuck off." Xu Er is thin and has no good airway.

When the Taoist heard Xu Ershou's words, he was instantly embarrassed.

Originally, he thought that the people here were either

Invite him in, or you will ignore him.

But this short man sprayed him when he came up, and told him to get out, which really disrupted his plan.

He didn't even know what to say.

"It's okay, Daoist, please feel free." Su Xuan said with a smile.

"Thank you."

The Taoist thanked him, then led the apprentice in and sat down on the side.

"Childe, you see that there are all rogues outside, and almost all the living are dead, and a Taoist suddenly appears, I think he is clearly not at ease." Xu Er is thin and has no good airway.

In fact, there are indeed Taoists and monks walking around outside.

Moreover, when the rogue and local armed forces see them on the road, they will hardly attack them.

The man smiled faintly and said, "Those bandits are ridiculous. They have killed countless people, but they are respectful every time they see the poor road. They think that by letting me go as a monk, they are doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, which is ridiculous......

What this man said was not unreasonable.

Those rogues and bandits, if they don't have brain problems, they will not kill the monks who meet them on the road, whether they are Taoists or monks.

The monks respect the immortals and believe in the Buddha, which means the disciples of the immortals and Buddhas.

They don't kill these immortal Buddha disciples, because the monks envelope the heavens have the virtue of a good life, and they really want to do good deeds for themselves and accumulate virtue by letting the monks go.

It's ridiculous to say.

Su Xuan couldn't help but smile faintly.

"What the Taoist said is true, but the Taoist is not an ordinary person. Aren't you afraid that we are all outlaws?" Su Xuan asked with a smile.

"Poor Taoist friends collect the body of this innocent and tragic person, if you Taoist friends are really rogues, you will not have such a benevolent heart." The Taoist laughed.

"Haha, the Taoist is observant, no wonder he is not afraid of us." Su Xuan laughed.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable ......"

"Dao Chief, come and sit." Su Xuan beckoned.

The Taoist came over with the apprentice and sat down opposite Su Xuan.

Su Xuan took out a piece of cake and threw it to the Taoist.

The Taoist divided the bread into two pieces and gave the large pieces to the disciples.

The little one took the loaf and ate it.

"Master, it's a meatloaf, it's a meatloaf!" The apprentice was very excited.

"Hey, kid, don't eat too much. With our dry food, two or three mouthfuls can hold you up." Xu Ershou said with a smile.

"Che, do you know what my nickname is? Eater! What's not going to work, first place in eating! Just your piece of bread is not enough for me to stuff my teeth." The little apprentice said.

"Smack~"

The Taoist slapped the back of the apprentice's head.

"Cheng Tian Xiao Dao Ye Xiao Dao Ye, really regard himself as a living immortal? Fellow Daoist gives you bread to eat, don't thank you, you are still so disrespectful!" Daoist people don't have a good way.

The little disciple stuck out his tongue and continued to eat the bread.
